Arranging the work for the LTD
Car diagnostics for your 1986 Ford LTD: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Details the shop needs
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the LTD. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.3L 4-cylinder. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Its 2.3L 4-cylinder drives through a 3-speed automatic.
Who does what
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Car care, briefly
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Ready when you are
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
Request car diagnostics
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
